Orange Is The New Black star Lea DeLaria covers David Bowie’s ‘Fame’ with Conan O’Brien
DeLaria - who plays Big Boo in Orange Is The New Black - enlisted presenter Conan for added air guitar.
An acapella super-band comprising of Big Boo from Orange Is The New Black, and American TV host Conan O’Brien might’ve seemed unlikely til now - last night it became a reality.
Actress and comedian Lea DeLaria was appearing on the show to discuss Season Three of Netflix series Orange Is The New Black, which came out last Friday. Talk soon turned to her jazz career. DeLaria - who has released five albums on Warner’s Jazz imprint - releases ‘House Of David,’ a David Bowie jazz covers album, later this month.
Lea DeLaria agreed to perform an acapella version of Bowie’s ‘Fame’ on the condition that Conan join her. He duly took her up on the offer, backing her up with a mean air guitar. Watch the rather impromteu cover below.
